The Nebraska football team practiced in Ireland for the second straight day Thursday in preparation for Saturday's season opener against Northwestern in Dublin.

Head Coach Scott Frost met with the media following practice, which was held just outside of Aviva Stadium, the site of Saturday's matchup. Frost touched on the balance between preparing the players for a Big Ten Conference game while also allowing them to enjoy another culture.

"I think it's been a good experience for our players. But they're dialed in and ready to play," Frost said. "They're doing a really good job of enjoying things when they need to enjoy it and then focusing when they need to focus, which is a sign of maturity.
